Michael Jackson's estate has a new creditor to deal with ... and this one is interesting. Leonard Rowe, self-described manager of the singer, has filed a creditors claim for $51,218.
Rowe says in legal docs on March 25, 2009, Jackson signed an agreement in which Rowe would "oversee and supervise his finances and the shows at the O2 Concert Hall in London..."
Rowe says this year, he incurred $51,218 in expenses which include hotels, car rental, food and airline tickets.
And, included in the legal docs ... the agreement that Jackson allegedly scribbled on and signed.

We're told there's a reason Polo Molina, the general manager of the Black Eyed Peas, turned himself in. Sources tell us Toronto cops said they would not let any of the Peas out of the country unless they got their man.
The Peas are on tour, so being locked in Toronto would have created big problems.
Perez Hilton claims Molina beat him in the eye last night, after the MuchMusic Awards.
Molina has been charged with assault. We're also told Perez plans on pressing the case.

Beyonce's dad is on the warpath against the people attacking his daughter for the supposed "board mix" audio of B singing at "The Today Show" -- claiming all doubters of her ability are "idiots."
In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who's also Bey's manager, says his daughter was set up. It's one of the best statements we've ever gotten.
"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.
If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing 'America the Beautiful' and 'At Last' at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce's vocal ability, they've gotta be an idiot.
At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.
That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."

Adam Gregory, who plays Ty on the crappy new "90210," is being sued by his ex-manager for allegedly not paying commissions on a slew of projects.
According to a lawsuit filed last week in Santa Monica, Gregory has not forked over his manager's cut for things like "90210," "Hannah Montana: The Movie," "17 Again," and a Chili's commercial. Apparently standing around and looking hot pays well.
The manager is suing for breach of contract and is seeking damages in excess of $100,000 plus interest.

It's been quite a year for Kelly Clarkson. From the look of this outfit she was caught wearing at the airport in NYC, it may be taking its toll.
The Grammy-winning singer was looking more like a 15-year-old pizza boy than a young starlet. All she's missing is her skateboard! Not that we're expecting her to doll it up just to spend a few hours on a plane, but this thrown-together neo-emo mess is starting to be a signature look for the idol winner.
A little effort will go a long way ... as you can see.

Joss Stone recently canned her mother as her manager, but the 19-year-old may be in over her head by trying to handle her career by herself. A TMZ source tells us that Joss "has been much more flakey lately since her mother was taken out of the loop."
Stone recently canceled at the last minute on several interviews, blaming a case of bronchitis. A TMZ staffer attended her concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles last night, reporting that Joss was "Unbelievable! She did have a rattling sound and coughed every so often, but her performance couldn't have been better."
Joss proved her performance skills, but it's unknown if she'll be able to cope with the business side without mom.
